The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Whelp, negative WW update this week. Wrestling focused class 8pm last night. It's late everyone is tired but we're pushing it. I match up with an 18 year old who's a national level competitor, but I've got 70 pounds on him. I actually typically enjoy rolling with him, it's speed and skill and ferocity against sheer size and strength, like some Planet Earth clip of a Wolverine fighting a moose.
He tried to hit a pretty basic slide by and idk what happened but his elbow caught me in the upper lip and my lip cut open bad. Million to one shot, never seen it happen before. I immediately went to bathroom to look and the sucker was deep, so I cleaned up, told the coach I wouldn't be in tomorrow, and went to an urgent care. Six stitches later, I think I'm on a liquid diet for a while and a couple weeks out of BJJ.
Anyway with a huge ugly cut on my lip, what are some good quotes about scars to throw out there? I've already burned through The Replacements and Fight Club in the gym group chat, and I'm probably going to need a bon mot for everyone I speak to today.
Bones heal, pain is temporary, and chicks dig scars.
